The head of state thanked the head of the Polish Ministry of Defence for comprehensive support from Poland in countering Russian aggression and the solidarity of the Polish people with Ukrainians.

I thank all our soldiers who withstand the harsh pressure of the occupiers and who clearly and completely fulfill the task of defending our positions. And who, even in such difficult conditions as on the front lines now, bring Ukraine good news.
